VT machining specialises in CNC EDM Drilling SKD11 Tool Steel. Because SKD11 Tool Steel is wear-resistant and hardenable for tooling, and its machinability is machined in the annealed state, then hardened; carbide tooling preferred, we plan each job around the grade to protect accuracy and surface quality.
CNC EDM Drilling Capability for SKD11 Tool Steel
- Air/oil/water-hardening grades
- High wear resistance
- Hardenable to 58–64 HRC
- Tolerance to ±0.005 mm
Machining SKD11 Tool Steel with CNC EDM Drilling
The machinability of SKD11 Tool Steel is machined in the annealed state, then hardened; carbide tooling preferred. For CNC EDM Drilling we select tooling, feeds, speeds and coolant to match, keeping the SKD11 Tool Steel workpiece stable and the result accurate.
Because we machine SKD11 Tool Steel regularly, proven settings shorten setup and keep quality repeatable across reorders.
Design Tips for CNC EDM Drilling SKD11 Tool Steel
A few design choices make a real difference to cost and quality. EDM suits sharp internal corners, thin ribs and hardened SKD11 Tool Steel that cannot be milled; allowing a small corner radius where possible speeds the cut. If you send your model early, we will return practical DFM feedback before you commit to production.
Why SKD11 Tool Steel?
Specifying SKD11 Tool Steel for CNC EDM Drilling SKD11 Tool Steel is usually about its properties: wear-resistant and hardenable for tooling. Tell us the condition you need and we machine to it.
CNC EDM Drilling Quality & Inspection
Consistent quality comes from disciplined process control. Critical dimensions on SKD11 Tool Steel parts are checked in-process and verified at final inspection using calibrated instruments and, where required, CMM measurement. Full documentation — dimensional reports, mill certs, FAIR — is available when your programme needs it.
CNC EDM Drilling Tolerances & Surface Finish
EDM holds tolerances to roughly ±0.002–0.005 mm with no cutting force on the SKD11 Tool Steel part, producing fine, controlled surface textures and sharp internal corners impossible to mill.
The tightest tolerances are reserved for the features your drawing flags as critical. Share your tolerance scheme and we will confirm what is realistic before quoting.
Secondary Operations & Finishing
We complete SKD11 Tool Steel components with the secondary steps your drawing calls for. We arrange heat treatment, surface treatment, marking and assembly as needed. Tell us the final spec and we will plan the full route so parts arrive ready to use.

What is the typical lead time and minimum order for CNC EDM Drilling SKD11 Tool Steel?
CNC EDM Drilling prototypes for SKD11 Tool Steel can be produced quickly and scaled to series production. Send your drawing and quantity and we will advise lead time and any minimum order.
Which industries use CNC EDM Drilling SKD11 Tool Steel parts?
CNC EDM Drilling SKD11 Tool Steel parts are used across aerospace, medical, automotive, electronics, semiconductor and general industrial sectors — anywhere precise SKD11 Tool Steel components are required.
Can you EDM-machine hardened SKD11 Tool Steel?
Yes. EDM removes material by electrical discharge rather than cutting force, so hardened and difficult SKD11 Tool Steel can be machined to fine detail and tight tolerance without distortion.
Does CNC EDM Drilling SKD11 Tool Steel require dedicated tooling?
Wire EDM needs no shaped tooling; sinker EDM uses a shaped electrode we produce in-house for your cavity.
What tolerances can you hold for CNC EDM Drilling SKD11 Tool Steel?
Achievable tolerances for SKD11 Tool Steel EDM machining depend on the alloy, geometry and feature size. EDM holds tolerances to around ±0.002 mm with no cutting force on the part. Exact figures are confirmed against your drawing callouts.
Why is SKD11 Tool Steel a good choice for CNC EDM Drilling?
SKD11 Tool Steel is wear-resistant and hardenable for tooling, which makes it well suited to CNC EDM Drilling. We tune the process to the alloy so the finished SKD11 Tool Steel EDM machining part meets your dimensional and functional requirements.
